What causes heartburn during pregnancy?
Heartburn, also known as acid reflux or acid indigestion, is caused
by the physical and hormonal changes in the body. During pregnancy, the
progesterone hormone is secreted by the placenta which relaxes the
smooth muscles including the valve separating the esophagus from the
stomach. This causes gastric acid to move into the esophagus causing the
burning sensation.
Is heartburn harmful to my baby or myself?
This condition is common in pregnancy and generally harmless though uncomfortable.
Will I have it throughout my pregnancy?
Most pregnant women begin to first experience heartburn at the end of
the second trimester when their baby begins to press on their digestive
tract causing the acid to seep back into the esophagus. However, some
women are uncomfortable with heartburn earlier in their pregnancy.
What can I do to avoid heartburn?
- Avoid foods and beverages that aggravate the condition. These can be
carbonated drinks, caffeine, highly seasoned foods, fried foods and
acidic foods.
- Eat smaller, more frequent meals slowly.
- Avoid drinking large amounts of water during meals but drink adequate amounts throughout the day.
- Avoid wearing tight clothing around the abdomen.
- Do not smoke as this increases stomach acidity.
- Elevate your upper body at night so that the acid will not move upwards.
Is there anything that is safe and natural to give me relief?
There are many over the counter antacids but avoid those with
aluminum and sodium bicarbonate. Aluminum can be constipating and sodium
bicarbonate can cause water retention causing your hands and feet to
swell. Products containing calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide
provide immediate relief and reduce acid production. They also tend to
last longer. Mommy's Bliss® Heartburn Comfort has been created to
address these issues especially for the pregnant woman.
